    Name calling, now even some foolish Democrats are trying but with T**** gone we can hope for more civil discourse. It is nearly impossible to respond to someone that uses juvenile name calling because you have to lower yourself to being a juvenile to do so.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nicknames_used_by_Donald_Trump
    The list is long, president Biden alone has 5!
    Basement Biden
    Beijing Biden
    Crooked Joe Biden
    Sleepy Joe
    Slow Joe

    I rarely, if ever respond to threads with such horsemerde in the title and I sincerely pray that the US (and others) can grow up to be adults again someday. It's much easier for adults to compete on the international markets.

    'Nazi' for being a civic nationalist (I guess people don't know what 'civic' means...)
    'Fascist' for suggesting nuclear family values (its literally what civilization exists for...)
    'Xenophobe' for opposing unlimited immigration (as if millions of welfare leaches would be OK if only they were white european protestants...)
    '*ussy' and 'coward' and 'small dick' for defending the right to bear arms (as if fist-fights are some sort of civilized honor sport that I'm obligated to engage in...)
    'Conspiracy theorist' for questioning the intentions and trustworthiness of known liars (as if conspiracies don't actually happen...)
    If you're suggesting Trump has cornered the market on namecalling, I think you need to pay attention to more than Trump. And yet I don't find it particularly difficult to maintain civil discourse. You never have to lower yourself to anything. You can choose to of course, but its your choice. Personally I find it more empowering to try to let others do the namecalling, refrain from it myself, and let them tank themselves with their own lack of emotional stability.

    Maybe. But they sure know what "Nazi" means. It fits Trump ok. But "fascist" is probably more appropriate.

    However, none of those are "name calling". They are a description of your Orange Idol's political positions.

    BTW, "Orange Idol" IS name-calling. If you want, you can use that for your "projection". I just hate it when people use a defense mechanism inadequately. So I thought I'd help you out.

    As of today - the most likely result by year end is that he wins the election. He will never be in jail.

    Both sides engage in name calling and both give us garbage candidates. If Trump wins, Dems have no one to blame but themselves

    It is my hope that, when Trump is gone (one way or another), Republicans will return to civility and decency. And I hope that Democrats will not seek to keep the incivility alive by calling out their hypocrisy. We need peace amongst ourselves if we hope to thrive as a country.

    I won't miss him, but I hope he makes billions and billions of dollars with his Social Media merger, and decides that he has "won" and calls off the race for WH. Then a sane Republican (conservative for change, - like Haley) can take over and claim the WH.

    You're comparing the average Joe's language to the President, - the chief diplomat and ambassador of the United States.....? That makes sense to you?

    Civil discourse? From Leftists? That's ****ing hilarious...lol

    Before Trump was a Nazi, Romney was a Nazi. Before Romney was a Nazi, McCain was a Nazi. Before McCain was a Nazi, Bush was a Nazi.

    Please show me all of your posts where you condemned Hillary for calling almost half the country "deplorable".
    @StillBlue i'm still waiting on those posts. If you have a problem with name calling then surely you have a problem with both sides of it. If you don't supply the goods I think it goes to show a double standard. Just sayin ;)

    "...are name-calling"?

    OK, well I think you're demonstrating my point even better, so I'll just leave you to it.

    The Leftists will hate the next Republican candidate just as much as Trump.

    The Left's vitriol will never go away.

    The scary thing about this election is that the democrats have made clear that their sole mission, their goal, is to keep Trump out of the oval office.
    No matter what it takes.
    They are willing to lie about Trump.
    They are willing to deny Trump basic constitutional guarantees.
    They are willing to do whatever they can to even keep trump off of the ballot.
    They will cheat, or steal, or attack whatever they think they need to do to stop Trump.
    Even to the point that they will destroy all that American has stood for to keep trump from the oval office.

    And if that doesn't scare the bejesus out of Americans, they need to check themselves.

    Who's anyone trying to kid...many on BOTH sides resort to the ridiculous labeling of the other side with the following...many of which are used by BOTH sides
    Nazi
    Fascist
    Xenophobe
    *ussy
    Coward
    Conspiracy theorist
    Deplorable
    Cheaters
    Dictator

    I'm sure I missed quite a few but the honest among us get the idea. The dishonest? Meh...whatever.

    There are those whose arguments are so weak that demonizing the "other" is all they have.

    See "MAGA" for reference.
    See GOP since 1988 for further reference.

    Good luck with that. "Civil" Republicans have been driven from the party as RINOS, STATISTS, DEEP STATE SHILLS...

    When Trump is gone the GOP will disintegrate into an intra-party civil war, yes, violence included, because the only thing binding them is hate and Trump is the deity to which they pray.

    You are expecting too much of your party. The incivility from the Democrats is baked in through the education system.

    Perhaps you are mistaking the disagreements among Republicans as something healthy. There is no debate within your party. It is a monolith political correctness, identity politics, climate change fanaticism, sexual obsession and hash demands for party discipline.

    I don't think there is a single healthy thing about the GOP.

    But your second line and beyond describes the GOP perfectly.
    political correctness: How's liz Cheney these days?
    identity politics: where the GOP exists. Without it the GOP has no identity
    climate change: The GOP 40 year old lie
    sexual obsession: LGBTQ+ fixation is all in the GOP
    party discipline: the more things change...Back to Liz cheney.

    Thanks for validating my claims about the GOP

    The DP is the party. of peace love and understanding. ;-)

    “Zeldin, who is currently a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, was not seriously injured after a man in a black baseball cap jumped on stage. The man has reportedly been taken into custody. Footage shared to social media shows the man approaching Zeldin from the side of the stage where he was standing. The man appeared to be holding a sharp implement of some kind.
    The man can be heard shouting "You're done" at Zeldin, who pushed him away before a number of other people got on to the stage in an apparent effort to stop the suspect.”

    Question: "What I'll miss the least about the ex-president when he goes to prison or exile"

    Most common answer: "I hate Democrats"

    Nothing new under the sun.

    Remember when Leftists called Bush "Shrubya"?

    Remember when the Leftists accused McCain of being a war criminal?
